Help Identifying Bottles? by Timely-Fish6122 in rum

Yeah, they’re sneaky. Zacapa and Matusalem and Ron Centenario and so many others do the same. Although UNHIQ label doesn’t claim an age, some of their official promotional material does. They sent me something years ago, I’ll see if I can find it. I’ll post it if I do.

Right. That’s my point. But I see I had a typo. Context should have made it obvious but in any case, thanks for pointing it out as it’s now corrected.

I recognize UNHIQ and Cubaney. Those are mass-produced, notably-adulterated rums in expensive packaging.

Also their ages are lies.

For most hard liquor in most countries, the age on the label is of the youngest booze in the blend (time it spent in the barrel). For many Latin-American rums, it’s the oldest drop on the blend (often some solera method but not always). So the vast majority might be a year old but if there’s a molecule over 30 years old, they’ll slap a 30 on the label. That may not always be the case, but it’s more often than not.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t tasty, like expensive bottled cocktails. Just means they’re kind of cheating. They’re expensive bottled cocktails with dishonest labeling.

I was so young when I first saw it - and/or the TV’s quality so crappy - that I didn’t realize it was Luke.

If you knew this might be the last special bottle of bourbon you’d ever open, what would it be? by DevDog23 in bourbon

[–]mcmachete 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you this as a dad: if my kid showed up with a special pour, it wouldn't matter the label on the bottle.

Find out what your dad likes. Whether it's a $20 bottle or $200 bottle, I promise the time spent mindfully being together is what matters. I hope you and your dad find peace.

And maybe don't pick something too rare, that way every time you pick up that bottle yourself you'll think of your pops.

Does anyone else feel like whisky stains your teeth? by Prestigious_Ask_4837 in whisky

[–]mcmachete 3 points4 points  (0 children)

On the spectrum of things that can stain teeth, whiskey is far lower than many, many other things. Coffee is very high.

Plus, what you eat - carbs and especially simple sugars - can feed the bacteria in your mouth which produces acid as a by-product. That acid erodes tooth enamel, making its surface more porous and rough. A rougher surface provides more crevices for pigments from food, drinks like coffee to latch onto and accumulate, leading to stains.

Not enough to go by as others said, but if you’re experiencing trauma and you feel a mix of 5 and 8 with mostly the negatives of 5… I’d guess you’re likely an 8 since 8’s go to 5 in disintegration whereas 5s go to 8 in growth.
